I appreciate this analogy. We tend to use terms like ‘clogged’ and ‘congested’ for both roads and veins. There is some measure of similarity between them. They are literal pathways and delivery networks between points of interest/destinations. Similar to our anatomical network of veins, there are various sizes of roads that network to connect us to our destinations. From major highways to collector roads and even smaller access roads, they play a role in our ability to support our populations. But sometimes we are guilty of putting too much emphasis on the road and not enough on either the entire network or the destinations. Perhaps keeping in mind that roads are not our ultimate objective could help us solve issues of ‘clogged’ and ‘congested’, which like our anatomical parts, lead to ‘stress’ and ‘unhealthy’ or worse. Putting a greater emphasis on overall network health and safety could potentially transform how we move. That’s why Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell’s proposed Choose How You Move referendum is so groundbreaking. It focuses on the foundational measures of health and safety that need improving now. We already have pretty great roads in Nashville. What we need are safer sidewalks, smarter traffic signals, and safer access to updated bus services.

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) California is standing firm against Proposition 33 on the November 5 General Election ballot. This measure, aimed at repealing the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act of 1995, has been rejected twice before by voters, each time by a 60% margin. John Kabateck, NFIB California State Director, states, "Prop. 33 is one man’s third attempt in six years to grant cities and counties more rent-control powers. We hope it fails by the same margin or greater this year." Small business owners, many of whom rent their business spaces, could face significant challenges if Proposition 33 passes, leading to a confusing patchwork of rent regulations.

It's time to revisit and update the Landlord-Tenant Act in South Carolina to better protect both renters and landlords in today’s housing market. The current laws are outdated and don’t address the modern challenges that both parties face, from inadequate housing conditions to unfair eviction practices. Updating the Act will ensure fair treatment, clarify rights and responsibilities, and provide stronger protections for tenants while giving landlords the clear guidelines they need to operate their properties effectively. A balanced and modernized Landlord-Tenant Act is essential for creating safe, stable, and equitable housing for everyone in South Carolina. Let’s push for change that benefits all. #HousingJustice #UpdateTheAct #FairHousingForAll www.belindaforsenate.com

JUST IN: NEW SCOTUS AUTHORITY ON EMINENT DOMAIN/TAKINGS In a unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court, Justice Barrett, held that the Nollan/Dolan test for determining whether a fee imposed as a condition for a land use permit constitutes an unconstitutional taking under the Fifth Amendment applies to both legislative and administrative permit conditions. Check out Justice Gorsuch's concurrence... "The Takings Clause, the Court stresses, is no ' "poor relation" to other constitutional rights.' [Citation.] And the government rarely mitigates a constitutional problem by multiplying it. A governmentally imposed condition on the freedom of speech, the right to assemble, or the right to confront one's accuser, for example, is no more permissible when enforced against a large 'class' of persons than it is when enforced against a 'particular' group. If takings claims must receive 'like treatment,' [citation] whether the government owes just compensation for taking your property cannot depend on whether it has taken your neighbors’ property too. In short, nothing in Nollan, Dolan, or today's decision supports distinguishing between government actions against the many and the few any more than it supports distinguishing between legislative and administrative actions. In all these settings, the same constitutional rules apply. With that understanding, I am pleased to join the Court's opinion." https://lnkd.in/g4n7sdeS

Why investors should look into HigherKey Immersive AI Studios for investment opportunities.

Very sad to see another CA city select a less optimal housing policy. We had actively looked at a deal 9 months ago in Concord with an attractive entry price off-market. The subject property was — and is — in need of major capex, having been built 60 years ago. The business plan called for $25k-$30k/unit of capital infusion to revitalize the property. Upon review of city council minutes discussing — but not yet enacting — rent stabilization, we had rescinded our offer. Most of the housing stock in CA was built in the middle of the last cenutry and will require massive infusion of capex. Real estate entrepreneurs will largely bear the costs, but need to be incentivized to do so. The State of California already acted in passing AB-1482, limiting rent increases to CPI + 5.00%. It will be difficult if each municipality pursues a totally separate policy. Lastly, and it’s not mentioned as often, there is a public safety aspect to strict rent control regimes. It leaves less discretion to management regarding inappproroate behavior, which on the agggregate can drastically affect crime in a neighbhood and city. The built world around us largely exists, and is maintained, due to real estate entrepreneurs + their investors willing to risk their hard earned money on an uncertain venture. Here at Prime Capital we had taken over a 25-unit building in AZ with maybe 3 functional, but obsolete, units and did a gut renovation, putting 25 fully renovated new units back into service for folks to call home. Private investment made this happen.

🚨URGENT: TAKE ACTION NOW!🚨 We have an exciting opportunity in front of the Massachusetts Legislature to allow more homes by legalizing accessory dwelling units. As we write, the House is considering language as part of the larger housing bond bill that will allow accessory dwelling units, or ADUs in communities across our state. House leadership introduced a bond bill with clean ADU legalization language that we support, but, some Representatives have introduced poison pill amendments, and we urgently need you to contact your State Rep. to keep the strong proposal as is. Please call your state rep and say: “My name is ___ and I am a constituent in your district. I am contacting you to voice my STRONG SUPPORT for the accessory dwelling units provisions of the Affordable Homes Act (Bill Number 4707) without any amendments. We need you to stand up for more homes in our communities. The House should pass these provisions as is. In particular say no to amendments #53, #300, and #310 that impose owner occupancy requirements and amendments #274, #278, #341, #359, #363 that contain other poison pills. Thank you.” Find your State Rep Here: https://lnkd.in/eDJhQuG Learn more about the current ADU provisions here: https://lnkd.in/e_k3YQMA Read our latest action alert email here: https://lnkd.in/eU66KPTG
